Jayni Hein’s commentary was included in a Law360 article analyzing the challenges faced by federal agencies as they implement a new Biden administrative directive to incorporate cost estimates for the damage caused greenhouse gas emissions into their work. Jayni discussed how the estimates will also play a big part in changing how federal agencies obtain the goods and services they need through the procurement process.

"The federal government is a huge consumer of various products, everything from vehicles and electric vehicles to electricity, from buildings to office supplies," Jayni said.
